A lot of very characterful additions. Would like a good look at the winged figure in the army set.

**Inquisitor Gideon**

It's already been featured in a community article

**Overread**

Kind of sad to not see straight updates on the core models in the getting started set (mostly cause that would mean new zombie/skeleton/undead/ dragon and terrorgast for Soulblight); but at the same time all those FEX update models are utterly awesome and just what we need. Actual mounted ghouls; displays of their madness right on the model itself and a new Vargalf - all looking super awesome.

I like that the new Mortatch has not just undead people but wolves as well on its pelt - likely showing that its been slicing through its fellow vampires as well (since we've a good few wolfy themes going on now).

**GaroRobe**

I think the most horrifying aspect of the new FEC range is the varghulf's vestigal tail...

Spoiler:

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

More coherent thoughts on the FEC stuff.

As I’ve speculated before, I’m not entirely convinced GW expected such a warm reception for their background.

Of all the recycled WHFB units, they got a genuinely neat and intriguing bit of background, but seemed mostly just a way to start separating out the Undead into distinct nations and armies.

Then it landed so hard, and since day dot everyone has wanted the models to better reflect their madness.

It’s taken a while, but here they are, and I for one am pleased as punch.

**Overread**

Honestly until today the FEC lore was almost entirely separate from their model line. It was a very strange situation and yet for some reason it worked so well and now they are getting models that really represent what their lore says about them.

They aren't just a regular ghoul model they are mounted on fine steeds; they are bedecked in radiant and flamboyant clothes; they are the height of regal and noble bearing.

**Sotahullu**

Yes! The day has finally come when FEC gets the guys it deserves.

I am gonna eat well today!

**ProtoClone**

I don't mind the ghouls are kept relatively the same.
But I think it would be cool to have some newer models to mix into the fray. I always felt the transformation is different for everyone. So it would be appropriate you see newer ghouls looking fresher while still having the grognard ghouls.
I have some basic humans in my mix because they believe the delusions but haven't made a complete transformation yet.

Edit: This would also make it possible for FEC to have things like spies in the lore.

**DaveC**

Liking what I see for FEC and will probably pick up the army box to go with the surprising amount of FEC bits I seem to have accumulated in the process of collecting other things

From tga - the Army box preoder date is 2nd December which if the 2 weeks preorders hold up would be a release date of the 16th.

**Inquisitor Gideon**

In two weeks time? That seems..odd. So it would be the release to go with Dawbringers 4?

A surprise, but a welcome one for sure! I hope this turns out to be correct - it would mean I can get my claws on these right before Christmas.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

The more I look at them, the more chuffed I am.

**lord_blackfang**

Loving the new FEC. Well, I could live without the Executioner, he doesn't really hold a candle to the other new heroes. Bat riders are the big hit for me, never thought FEC would get them before Blood Angels!

I don't follow launch box pricing, is there any discount?

Cities of Sigmar was €155 for €247.50 of content when released individually I can see FEC being similar.

Thanks, although it's slightly alarming that a book, 20 basic infantry and 5 specials could amount to €250.

**tneva82**

That's the gw pricing for a while.

Also did have hero and thanks to plastic everything those cost.

Also it factors limited edition book price. I don't value that so for me its more of 217.5e I'm comparing. Book is book and the code is biggest value of book anyway for me.

**Sotahullu**

Kinda hoped that Cryptguard is going to be similar to skeleton/zombie kits that being 20 guys per box but then the box could not be 155€.

You have to factor in the cost of the book and data cards, unfortunately. The value return I'm teems of miniatures isn't quite that good.

**Kanluwen**

Breakdown is 2 units of 10 "elite infantry", a unit of cavalry, and 2 fairly chonky heroes plus the army book and whatever else is in there.

It'd be a better deal than the Cities one, if it's at the same price. Guessing $60 for the Varghulf Courtier, $55 for the Gorewarden, $55 for the Crypt Guard, and $60 for the cavalry.

They could have just chucked the Cardinal and Axeman in.

**tneva82**

That wouldn't result in same discount. Unless they up cost of box

I subscribed to the Stormbringer thing last night.

I've made a half hearted vow to paint everything that comes in...

**Inquisitor Gideon**

Keep an eye out on the US version of the Hachette page. Some of the premium stuff is being sold seperately on the UK version. Krondys is being sold at under half the retail price.

The US magazines are distributed through Agora, which doesn't sell individual issues like Hachette does.

Also, I only see UK and France versions of Hachette. Even if you change the URL, it just brings you to the Stormbringer subscription page.

They also want you to subscribe to 4 issues a month, at $13.99 each on the basic plan. I'd frankly prefer a single $56 charge per month.

They charge you a lump sum and send all 4 together.

That's a good idea and a great conversion projekt.

**kodos**

Mantic Ghouls next to Fireforge folk rabble would work well for that.
than you get regular humans, and not-yet ghouls to go with the fully transformed ones

First look at Flesh Eater Courts

Perform enough Noble Deeds, and nearby followers will enter a feverish state of jubilance, abandoning themselves to a Feeding Frenzy in recognition of the deeds of their liege, and adding 1 Attack in melee.
Courtier models become rallying points for the Serfs and Knights who serve them. At the end of the movement phase, they bellow rousing speeches, encouraging their bannermen to return to the fray with renewed vigour.

For each Noble Deeds point spent, one Serf – a Crypt Ghoul or Crypt Guard – can be returned to a unit wholly within 10” of the Courtier. For every two points, a Coutier can also return one Knight to a unit of Crypt Flayers, Crypt Horrors, or Morbheg Knights. As long as there are points to be spent, Courtiers can keep returning subjects to the battle.

Because Abhorrants are of royal descent, they can return whole units of Serfs and Knights, replenishing the ranks of their army while the enemy begins to falter… It is these same sovereigns who sit on the Courts of Delusion, weaving a veil of madness over their subjects.
In the first battle round, a Flesh-eater Courts player picks one of five Delusions to apply to the battle. When the delusion of a Crusading Army is cast over the courts, all units add 1 to run rolls and charge rolls. If an Abhorrant perceives a threat to their kingdom, they become Defenders of the Realm, adding 1 to save rolls for units contesting objectives they control.

These potent abilities form the backbone of every Flesh-eater Courts army, and are supplemented by unique heroic actions, and a full complement of enhancements, including spells, prayers, command traits, and artefacts, all of which you’ll find in the hallowed pages of Battletome: Flesh-eater Courts.

You’ll be able to sink your teeth into this tome shortly, when the Flesh-eater Courts Army Set comes to pre-order.
